WEBVTT
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:04.160
We're going to be talking about the fundamentals for high performance.
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:05.839
And I want to be super, super clear.
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:11.279
I'm not talking about like losing weight or being a freaking high profile elite athlete.
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:15.119
I'm talking about high performance as a professional out there in the world.
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:22.800
And so if you've been looking for like a way to get things under control, this session is for you.
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:24.160
I'm Jesse.
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:35.679
And the reason I do these live streams is because I want to share the techniques and the tools that help me manage multiple clients, multiple projects.
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:45.679
They are also the things that I've used in my career that have helped me overcome and triumph and promote and serve in ways that I could never have expected.
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:51.600
So that I could help you have more fun doing all the amazing things that you love and care to do.
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:58.000
On the last after party, me and Craig were talking, and it became clear to me that I've been talking about a lot of stuff, right?
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:09.760
The buckets and the colors and all the other things, but I've overlooked, like I kind of skipped past the fundamentals, the basics of like just getting started with the tool.
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:10.480
Which tool?
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.319
The daily domination board.
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:20.400
And so, first, if you want the daily domination board, drop double D in the comments, and I'll hook you up with the link.
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:23.280
And I'm sure it's probably in the chat or the show notes or something.
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:28.640
But, anyways, drop double D in the comments, and I will hook you up with the link to get that bad boy.
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:36.319
And so the three things, like the three fundamentals that we're gonna go over today, are the task dump reflection and bucketizing.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.920
We're gonna jump straight into the task dump.
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:41.519
And this is the tool, right?
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.359
This is the magical, wonderful tool that I love to use for managing my daily tasks.
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.400
So this session is just specifically on daily, daily stuff, right?
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.920
Like not uh no long-term planning, no uh uh scheduling.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.680
We're not even getting into our calendar.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:04.159
All we're gonna be talking about is daily task management.
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.240
And so I've already kind of created a little sample for us to get started.
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:12.000
And so this is an example of the to-do column, right?
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:17.919
There's already a to-do column with all the instructions you need to like get started with the daily domination board.
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:32.400
But I want to kind of walk you through just how simple it can be if you've never used Trello, because that's my tool of choice, there's a bunch out there, but if you've never used Trello, this is precisely what I am working in right now, the Trello board.
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.199
And so in this example to do column, I've already created some cards, right?
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.479
Prep for live stream, which I did before I hit the go live.
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:41.919
So I'm gonna move that to done.
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:42.879
Very simple, right?
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.000
I click and drag.
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.560
Now, this can also be done on your phone, which I do a little bit, but I mostly do it on my desktop.
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:49.439
That's entirely up to you.
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:50.719
So, what are we doing right now?
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.240
We're doing the live stream, right?
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.159
So that goes into the doing column.
00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.879
Now, the other things I have left for today are the after party, which is gonna be directly after this thing.
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:03.199
Um, then I have a 16-mile bike ride.
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.599
Let's see how I do on that, and then produce content for the week.
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:14.159
After I finish the live stream, I'm I'm going to drag the live stream card into the done column.
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:16.400
And then I'm gonna bring the after party card.
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:17.680
I know it seems like what?
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.360
That's kind of kindergartening.
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:27.919
But the important part, like for you to get started, is to do the task dump, like I had already done, right?
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.759
I had all of these cards over here in my to-do.
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:43.919
So the way I go about it is every morning I get in here, and yes, every morning, and I go to my calendar or whatever the list of a bazillion things I have in my head, and I just dump them out, right?
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:51.599
I get them out of my head, and the way I do that is I click this little button here, add cart, and then I type in what I want to do.
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.560
Let's see, engage with the comments, right?
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:55.840
Super simple.
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:56.800
What else?
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:57.759
What else do I need to do?
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:04.240
I need to fold the laundry, uh, fold laundry, pick up grow order groceries because I don't pick up groceries anymore.
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:06.240
I get them delivered, and so that's the idea.
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:12.080
You get up in the morning, or or some people like to like set the stage for tomorrow.
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:19.439
So maybe the evening time is a good time for you to like outline all the tasks, the things that you want to get done tomorrow, do it in the evening.
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:28.399
I can't do that because when I try to do that in the evening, what ends up happening is I end up working because I'm looking at all like, oh, well, I could do this.
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.879
This is 10 minutes, this is 30 minutes, and then it's midnight.
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:36.639
And so for me, my discipline is like after 6 p.m., like, okay, yeah, I'm not gonna do any planning.
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.959
I might execute a couple more things, but that's it.
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:46.000
Because if I start thinking about the stuff I need to do tomorrow, I start working on them and then I, you know, cut into my sleep.
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.279
The main point there is whatever works best for you.
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:56.879
I think the morning and the evening are really good times to do the task dump.
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.480
And again, I'm gonna go back to the board so you can see what I'm talking about.
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.360
All we're talking about right now is the task dump.
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.399
And what we do is in that to-do column, we just create the things that we need to do.
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.319
I'm gonna be silly here, but I gotta brush my teeth, right?
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:13.439
I gotta take a shower.
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:14.240
Boom.
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.759
You don't have to be that granular, but I know some people that are, and that's why I want to give that example.
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:28.319
I kind of just focus on on like the hard buttons that I need to push to keep the ball rolling on all of the things that I have going on.
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.439
Here's another key point that I want you to think about.
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:41.920
When you're creating your task dump, like just getting the stuff out of your head or getting it from your calendar or getting it from the to-do list that you had yesterday, don't worry about the order.
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:42.879
It doesn't matter.
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.759
Like right now, it's just a task dump.
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:51.439
You're just getting all of the things out of your head, the stuff that you know you want to get done today.
00:05:51.680 --> 00:06:00.399
Again, if you do this in the morning, if your task dump period is in the evening, it's all the things that you want to get done tomorrow or the things that you need to get done tomorrow.
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:01.600
It doesn't matter.
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.439
The sequence or the order absolutely does not matter.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:06.639
And here's why.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:15.279
When you go back to the board, and if you're listening to this, there's a link for the YouTube thing so you can come in and watch this.
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.160
So check that out.
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:24.319
But, anyways, it doesn't matter at all what order that I put those things in because I'm gonna show you some magic, and I love this because it's so flexible.
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:30.240
I can come in here and then I could just say, you know what, I'm gonna take a shower first in the morning.
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:35.839
So all I got to do is click on it and move it in the sequence that I want to do them, right?
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.720
So I moved, take a shower, brush my teeth, then I got prepped for live stream after party.
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:41.439
You know what?
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.720
I don't want to do my bike ride in the middle of the day because I'm gonna sweat bucket.
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:50.720
So I'm gonna drop that down after produce content for the week and then engage with the comments.
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.199
I'm gonna put that over here right after live stream.
00:06:53.279 --> 00:07:08.000
And so the point of that is just so that you can see it's flexible, like it doesn't get the task dump, get the stuff out of your head, and then start organizing them in the sequence that you want to do the things that you intend to do the things right now.
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:12.160
One thing I want to point out is there's no colors here, right?
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:18.720
It's just kind of wide and boring, and like uh that's not like my board is like it's like a rainbow, man.
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:20.240
I got all kinds of colors.
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:26.560
But what so what I'm talking about or what I'm sharing for you is so that you can see how easy it is just to get started.
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.879
Don't get caught up on what the buckets are and all the other stuff that I've talked about so far, right?
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:31.920
You can do that later.
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.439
You can do it progressively, actually.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:43.279
I super, super recommend that you do it progressively because trying to get it perfect right out of the gate, all in one shot, that kind of gives you handcuffs.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:48.879
My advice is always start messy, do it wrong, but start.
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:54.480
The only wrong way to do it is to hesitate and not start and not take action.
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:55.439
All right.
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.439
So we've done the task dump.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.920
Now we're gonna kind of simulate and walk through like, okay, if I already done that, then what?
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.680
So I'm gonna super fast simulate going through the thing, right?
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.000
So here we go back to the daily domination board.
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.920
And so, like, pretend, right?
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:15.600
Can y'all pretend with me?
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.399
We're gonna say I already done, right?
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:23.120
I took a shower, I brushed my teeth, I prepped for the live stream, I did the live.
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.199
So everything has been moved to done, right?
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:35.840
This is the evening, and the way I use this is I move them over as I complete them because it also having my to-do list here helps remind me what was I thinking in the morning.
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:37.919
There was some logic or reasoning behind it.
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.639
Actually, there's a lot of thinking that I put into like my sequencing.
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:45.200
It's one of the things I do first thing in the morning, high-leverage activities, and then all the other stuff.
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.559
I just kind of fill it in.
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.639
And then I'm like, okay, what do I need to do next?
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:49.919
Ah, I got to do the after party.
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.799
Did the after party, moved it to doing, then I moved it to done.
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:54.720
So on and so forth, right?
00:08:54.799 --> 00:09:00.720
So we're just gonna say it's the end of the day, travel, take a fantastic voyage with me into the future.
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:08.399
So now it is Saturday evening, and I've completed all the tasks that I had in my to-do list.
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:12.080
So this is where we get into the reflection piece.
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:32.879
And so when you think about reflection, maybe think about it in terms of like analysis um or or you know, evaluation, not necessarily from the standpoint of like grading yourself, more from the perspective of really taking a look at what are the things that I spend time on.
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:38.720
My recommendation is gonna be this that you continue to build this over a week or maybe two or three days.
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:39.360
Why?
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.399
Because this is where we learn what are the things that did I get all of the stuff done or not.
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:51.200
And so, for example, let's go back to the board, boom, back to the board.
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.919
Let's say, because this happens a lot, right?
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:59.120
Let's say I the it's the end of the day, and I didn't get my bike right in.
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.399
This happens all the time.
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:03.279
There's tasks that I plan to get done today, but I didn't get done.
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:10.559
So I will leave them in the to-do column, and then I will add the next list of stuff that I'm gonna get done on the next day, and so on.
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:18.320
What I'm looking at is like, okay, there's a couple of things that stick that we're like sticking in my to-do column, and I'm not getting them done.
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:19.120
Why?
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:31.840
That's the reflection question is why am I not executing these things that I said were important, that I had committed to getting done for one reason or another?
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:38.559
There's gonna be a million different answers for the different things, but the important thing is to be clear about okay, what is that?
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:39.919
What's keeping me from doing that?
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.360
And that's the magic key.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:43.039
What is keeping me from doing that?
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.440
Sometimes it's because I didn't want to do it.
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.279
It's not really a great answer.
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.440
But then, so then there's a bigger question, right?
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.360
Okay, then why do you keep putting it on the board?
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:52.320
Do you need to do it?
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:53.200
Freaking do it.
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.600
Kind of figuring that out and then evaluating myself.
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.240
This takes us back to the high performance idea, right?
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.399
When I have all of these things and I can look and say, okay, this is what I said I was gonna do.
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:04.399
You ever heard of the say do ratio?
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:07.840
So, what I said I was gonna do, this is what I actually did.
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:13.600
So, personal accountability, which I think is the only type of accountability, is exactly what I'm talking about here.
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.519
Looking at the things I didn't get done, what's keeping me from getting done?
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.720
And what do I need to do so that I can execute and get those things done in the future, right?
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.320
Like that's it's that simple.
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:29.600
Come up with a plan and that will increase, improve your execution.
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:33.279
If you got any comments, if I'm if I'm not making sense, let me know, man.
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.799
Ask me, I'm happy to answer them.
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:35.919
Like for real, for real.
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:44.639
Now, the other part of reflection is like one, I'm looking at what didn't I get done, why not, and how do I just go on forward.
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.840
The next part is how do we bucketize?
00:11:47.919 --> 00:12:02.320
Like, I do a lot of stuff, you do a lot of stuff, and it's like sure, it's all connected to you, but if I can see them in terms of what area or what arena are they in, I start getting to learn like where do I spend most of my time?
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.480
So let's go back to the board.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:07.679
This level of reflection, right?
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.600
On one hand is okay, I missed the target.
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:09.919
Why?
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.759
What kept me from hitting the target?
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.879
The next one is okay, I've been doing this, right?
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:21.440
I created my cards, I dragged them over, but all it looks like is a bunch of tasks.
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:33.840
And I think this is where a lot, there's a lot of like improvement or huge, heavy gains to be had, is by really understanding where do I spend all my time?
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:41.600
What things do I commit to and actually execute because they're in the done column.
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.360
I did them now.
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:51.360
That takes us to bucketizing, and I'm pretty sure that's like not a real word.
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:57.360
But bucketized, like, what are the buckets that I spend most of my time in?
00:12:57.600 --> 00:13:05.840
I know what my personal buckets are, I don't know what your buckets are, and a lot of people ask me, like, what are the like the standard buckets?
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.039
Are there some that I should create?
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:19.360
It's like, well, I hesitate to answer that question because this thing needs to be super personal and super customized to you, and it has the flexibility for that.
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:24.639
But what is required is that you use the thing to figure it out.
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:33.840
I will say this like, if you don't know where to get started and what buckets to use, this isn't what I use, but this is intended to help you get started.
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:39.200
Work, home, physical fitness, family.
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.919
By home, I mean chores and that kind of crap, right?
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:46.080
Like dishes and laundry and wash the car and mold the lawn and uh all of those things.
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:53.200
So maybe instead of home, think of it as chores, work, chores, family, fitness, super, super basic.
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.759
That's not like a silver bullet, hard and fast, the only things to track.
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.879
I'm just trying to give you something to start if that helps you.
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:06.799
But the real, real way to do that is do the reflection part, right?
00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.480
Now we're gonna look at the week.
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:10.399
So I'm looking at the done column here.
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:11.759
Say, take a shower.
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.799
Okay, so I did take a shower, I brushed my teeth.
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:16.879
Those kind of fall in the same bucket.
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:22.559
So now I'm gonna click on that card, and you see this little here's the beautiful thing labels.
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.519
Uh, okay, so I take a shower and I brush my teeth every day.
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:29.279
Again, I'm being silly because this isn't what I typically track, but it's a simple example.
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:31.679
I'm gonna go to labels, and you know what?
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:37.840
I'm gonna pick the blue label and I'm gonna call it personal hygiene.
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:39.039
Hygiene.
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:40.799
I'm probably not gonna spell it right, but I don't care.
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:41.279
Boom.
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:45.440
So now I have a label, uh bucket of personal hygiene.
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:52.080
And so what else do I do that that I completed, like that I actually did, that falls in that bucket?
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.159
Oh, I brushed my teeth too.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.200
Awesome.
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.600
Okay, so now I created another bucket.
00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:58.879
Now I'm gonna look some more.
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:05.919
What else do I have in here that I got done in a day or a week, whatever time horizon makes most sense to you?
00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.759
Look at it from that perspective.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:10.320
I do my reflection after the week.
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:15.759
So my done column gets filled up with all the stuff I got during the day, but it's because I already have my buckets.
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:19.759
So for you to create your buckets, maybe you do it, do your reflection daily, right?
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:20.559
Whatever works for you.
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:25.279
So, anyways, what else kind of falls in the same bucket, the same world?
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:31.840
So I got prep for live stream, live stream, engage with the comments after party, produce content for the week.
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:33.440
Well, those are a little bit different.
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.639
So I'm you know what?
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:40.399
This stuff in the prep for live stream, we're just gonna call it live streaming.
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:40.960
You know what?
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:42.399
I'm gonna be silly.
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:50.720
I'm gonna call it attention seeking because y'all know that's what I do, aka live live streaming, right?
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:54.480
That's now my bucket because I do a lot of things that are in that bucket.
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.080
And so if I keep going down, I'm like so prepping for the live stream, yep.
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.440
Actually, live streaming, yep, I'm gonna give it that bucket.
00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:06.879
Engage with the comments, yep, that's falls in the same bucket.
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.720
Uh, the after party absolutely falls in the same bucket.
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.639
Produce content for the week, yo.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.559
I think that would qualify as me uh attention seeking, and so that's another bucket.
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.799
Now I could see I got two buckets, right?
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:24.000
Personal hygiene and the stuff I do for the live stream.
00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:29.440
And speaking of engage with the comments, we got some comments coming in.
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.480
My brother Mario Acosta says color coding.
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:33.759
Oh, I agreed.
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:42.000
Color coding always helps streamline things and helps minimize confusion and mistakes.
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.600
I agree a bazillion percent, Mario.
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:55.440
It helps me digest information quickly, make decisions quickly, do evaluation super, super quickly because it's color color coded.
00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:03.360
Now you don't have to color code it, but I recommend that you do because it'll help you see, see where we spend our time.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:04.720
And so back to the board.
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.680
One more example of like the actual bucketizing.
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:13.039
And so you can see down here in the bottom, I have two things fold laundry, order groceries.
